There is a set of scripts in the repository that handle the function keys. I haven't tried all of them yet, but the ones I typically use - screen brightness and wireless ON/OFF work. Sound didn't work when I booted it up today- not sure what happened, but I think one of the updates messed it up - otherwise I would have checked the sound function keys. Sound was working before, and I am not exactly sure when I lost it. Sigh, something else to look into. BTW, mine has the more linux friendly atheros wireless chip, which Mepis detected and worked with automatically. I have read, however, that it takes a bit of tweaking to get it working with the Ralink chip on some of the other eee PC models.
